Add a virtual background to your camera bubble

Add the image of your choice for a more polished background.

Virtual backgrounds make it easy to feel confident and comfortable when recording a Loom with your video on.

They're available on the Loom Desktop app and Loom Chrome extension when recording in screen + camera mode (camera-only mode soon to come).

Add a background

  1. Open your preferred Loom recorder (Chrome Extension or Desktop app). Make sure you have selected screen + camera capture mode.

  2. Select the effects icon.

  3. Select from preset images, blur, and solid color options, and start recording!

FAQ

Can I add my own custom options?

We do not support Custom Background at this time.

Can I add a virtual background in camera-only mode?

Nope. We're working on adding virtual backgrounds to cam-only mode, but right now you can only add backgrounds to your camera bubble in screen + camera mode.
